In part one of my conversation with Erika Benjamin, owner of Southern Girl Granola, speaker and fitness guru, we talk about the importance of focusing on what truly matters—your heart, relationships, and the hidden blocks that might be holding you back. Erica shares her thoughts on wanting a meaningful relationship and the struggles of navigating love with preconceived ideas. We discuss how to recognize emotional barriers, shift limiting beliefs, and embrace the truth that you are enough, just as you are.

This episode will encourage you to reflect, take action, and move toward the love, joy, and connection you deserve.

Topics Discussed:

• The importance of identifying emotional blockers.
• Practical steps to invite clarity and openness into your life through prayer and affirmations.
• Why many women settle for the bare minimum and how to raise your standards unapologetically.
• The impact of societal and generational survival modes on self-worth and relationships.
• The power of seeing and being seen—how acknowledgment can heal emotional wounds.

This week’s affirmation:

“I am surrendering any limits that are on me. And I'm only open to what is in alignment with my purpose, my calling, and my destiny.”
